What Causes Ear Pain After Putting Ear Drop?
My daughter is 10 years old. She got ear wax removed by ENT doctor on Thursday - 2 days back on her 2nd visit after use of ear drop based on 1st visit. From Friday night she complained about pain in ear and followed by mild fever. During weekend pain increased. Today her ear started bleeding. Is this because ENT ruptured her ear drum? I took her to urgent care today and the doctor treated it as if there is nothing serious and gave antibiotic. I am worried about loss of hearing.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some irritation and soreness due to removal of wax giving this type of pain.
Nothing to worry, pit antibiotic ear drops for 2-3 days.
It is less likely injury or rupturing of drum.
If pain persisted or increased then you might require one ocurse of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
